Food and eating

[Adamj]

Does anyone find that they also don’t really have an appetite? I mostly just sit around all day and sleep off and on because I have nothing to do currently unemployed dealing with stress and panic and anxiety all day. Every time it feels like it’s getting better I feel like it goes backwards for some reason like I’ll start to worry more or have anxiety again when I leave the house. I know I should eat but I’m just not hungry I maybe eat one “full” meal a day.

Hey there!! I completely get where you are coming from. I struggle with GAD and when my anxiety is sooo bad I refuse to eat. It's almost as though my brain tells me I can't eat, so then the back of my throat has what it feels as it would be ball where I can't swallow, then when I don't eat I get nauseous and it's such a vicious cycle. I found making myself eat just a couple bites and taking my anxiety medicine helps but I can empathize with what you are going through. I also go to Target and get stomach settle drops that I keep in my mouth a lot of times when I'm anxious and that helps settle my stomach as well. Hope it all gets better for you, friend 🙂

I'm the same way, past week been in my bed and only got up to use the bathroom. Had maybe 2 showers i forced myself into. But the eating part i can definitely relate to. My throat just feels clogged with butterflies in a way and if i end up eating ill be on the verge to throw up

Hi Adam, everyone is different, look at this way?...you could be pigging out and gaining a ton of weight, with many that's what happens...they'll replace boredom/loneliness with food to fill an empty void..getting back out to the workforce would definitley help, I hope it happens soon for you...
